Launching a Xmas re-print project on Kickstarter.com for Helen Tau'au Filisi


https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/helentauaufilisi/re-printing-3-ancient-samoan-stories-for-christmas
 


My 'kickstarter' campaign has finally started! I'd been umming and ahhing over re-printing my first 2 ancient Samoan stories (bilingual picture books) series as funds had been diverted to publishing 2 plays and the development of other genre that funds weren't ready to re-print back copies of the first two in the series. 

But then was reminded of having a 'kick starter' campaign which is a virtual funding platform to share my story (or plight) globally and to see if there is enough interest to begin reprinting the current picture books with an update on the covers and a reformat as well as to develop my third picture book "Tagaloalagi and Fue."

So far I have been privileged to share the ancient Samoan stories of "Sina and the Tuna" and "Mount Vaea and the tears of Apa'ula" as a guest author at various primary schools, early childhood education centres, with individuals and groups, at public libraries and are now beginning to sell through Book companies which is very humbling.

It's been quite an exciting journey but if you did miss out of either of the first two copies of these books or want to buy the new picture book for Christmas of "Tagaloalagi and Fue" or even the series, please do check out the link above to the kickstarter link and please share with your networks. And will ship anywhere in the world. Yes, even to Istanbul :)...
